TEROPONGNEWS.COM, JAKARTA – The human body basically has a system like a cell phone. There is power in the form of a battery that will run out after use, and will be charged again when we recharge it. The term battery in humans is referred to by Garmin as a Body Battery. This is explained further on the show talk show virtual hosted by Garmin titled “Benefits of Gawai in the Pandemic Era” Through this event, Garmin discussed how the Body Battery feature on its smartwatch line helps people understand their body condition so they can be wiser in carrying out daily activities and starting an active lifestyle.
On this occasion, Garmin Indonesia Country Manager Rian Krisna explained the function of the Body Battery regarding concerns about the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic situation. In fact, many people are confirmed as asymptomatic patients (OTG) and have happy hypoxia, a condition where there is a reduction in the amount of oxygen in the body without symptoms that often goes unnoticed. It can be said, not a few people are not aware when their bodies are tired and vulnerable to disease.
“Sometimes people think they are fit and force their bodies to do all kinds of activities, even heavy work. By using the Body Battery feature, Garmin users can better recognize the body so that we can be wiser in planning the intensity of our daily activities and determining when to rest,” explained Rian.
Body Battery is an indicator of the amount of energy or power the user has by combining activity data, stress levels, recovery and rest periods. Body Battery has the ability to interpret changes in heart rate to determine the relationship between the sympathetic nerves, the nerves responsible for accelerating the work of the human body’s organs, and the parasympathetic nerves, which work the other way around.
Furthermore, the rise and fall of the human Body Battery can be influenced by many things including lifestyle. Usually adequate rest and good quality sleep can maintain and even increase Body Battery. Meanwhile, a hectic work schedule, high intensity exercise, and excessive alcohol consumption can make our Body Battery levels decrease.
At the same time, Sports Medicine Specialist dr. Grace Joselini Corlesa, MMRS., Sp.KO said that human health is also affected by stress, “Everyone has a different amount of energy every day, and a different response to the same activity. For example, a new habit (new normal) which requires us to stay at home, for some people it is fun, but there are also those who feel stressed when they can’t go anywhere.”
For that, Rian also said that tracking Body Battery can help maintain health and improve user performance, only by using a smartwatch on the wrist. He also underlined that the Garmin smartwatch is not a medical device, but the Body Battery feature can be an early indicator when users want to consult a doctor and find out more details about their health.
